IMPROVEMENT IN HOT-AIR DEFLECTORS AND EVAPORATORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 201,054, dated March5, 1878; application filed January 23, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL B. SExToN, of the city of Baltimore and Stateof Maryland, have invented certain Improvements in Hot- Air Deflectorsand Evaporators, of which the following is a specification; and I dohereby declare that in the same is containeda full, clear, and exactdescription of my said invention, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

This invention relates to certain improvements in a hot-air deflectorand water-evaporator for which Letters Patent of the United States No.17 6,943 were granted to Simon Fairman, May 2, 1876; and consists in thecombination, as hereinafter described, of the deflector-box with awall-lining, whereby the deflector is secured to the wall in a neat anddurable manner. The wall-lining occupies the space filled in the Fairmaninvention by the hot-air register, which I dispense with. The mode ofattachment between the walllining and deflector is such as to enable thelatter to be readily removed from the former.

In the further description of the patented device as improved herein,reference is made to the accompanying drawing, forming a part hereof,and in which- Figure I is a vertical section of the improved device.Fig. II is a partly sectional front view of the invention, and Fig. IIIa partly sectional plan of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate similar parts of the invention inall the views.

A is an ornamental box, having in the front thereof the slots to,adapted to be closed or opened at pleasure by means of a slotted plate,b, constructed to have a limited sliding motion within the said box. Themovement of the said slotted plate b is obtained through the medium of apin, 0, projecting from the said plate through a horizontal slot in thefront of the box.

To enable the box A to be cheaply and easily constructed, it is formedin sectionsthat is to say, the top, front, and sides are separate, andattached by means of bolts or screws, as shown in the drawing.

0 is a removable water-tray, placed in the upper part of the box A, andcovered by a perforated plate, D, which allows of the escape of moisturefrom water contained in the tray when heated by the action of heated airpassing into and through the said box.

E is the frame before alluded to, secured within the aperture F in thewall G, in place of the ordinary register-frame. The frame E is providedwith a slot, d, in the upper part thereof, and the box A with aprojection, e, which fits therein; and the said plate is furtherprovided with a bead or projection on the outer face thereof, whichserves to steady the box A when applied thereto. The lower part of thebox A is secured to the frame E by means of a screw or bolt, which bolt,when removed, admits of the detachment of the said box from the frameand wall.

In addition to the advantage of dispensing with the complete registerused in connection with the patented device, the absence of slats in theframe E admits of the cleaning of the aperture F in the wall, and therenewal or repair of the heating pipes or flues connected therewith, bysimply removing the box A, which operation is easily and readilyaccomplished after the detachment of the screw or bolt at the bottom ofthe box.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and wish to secure byLetters Patent of the United States- The combination of the box A andwalllining E, the same being united by means of a slot and a projectionfitted thereto, and a screw-bolt connection, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name this 5th day ofDecember, in the year of our Lord 1877.

SAMUEL B. SEXTON.
